Veggie town

Yep, I still have my earthbox gardens going and so far so good once I got rid of some critters (caterpillars) on my tomato plant. I am now having a bumper crop of Roma tomatoes and one of my broccoli has finally sprouted a head. I can't wait. See it in the center? It's small but it's there.I hope the weather stays cool. (it doesn't care for the heat) My friend Karen has already harvested some broccoli from her earthbox garden. I am so jealous.

Last night Jeff & I had a nice fresh, tasty salad with Romaine and spinach from the garden....ohhhh it was yumlicious. I had to plant some more pole bean seeds as we have gobbled up all of the beans, but my bell peppers are still growing like crazy.We put the caging around the lettuce and spinach to keep the bunnies out. Not that I have anything against bunnies but I think they would make short work of my garden given the chance.

All too soon the hot weather will be here so I need to think ahead to hot weather crops. hmmmm......

Welcome to my blog

If this is your first visit to my blog, or a return visit, thank you for spending some time here. This is my blog written by me, no ghost authors here but I'm sure that is evident as my grammar will not pass muster with any English majors (or minors for that matter) but I will do my best to share interesting and even mundane aspects of my life as a quilter and quilt pattern designer. Into that mix I will be adding my attempts at gardening, being organized - HA , boosting creativity, and other everyday happenings. I should warn you in advance - I am a recovering procrastinator! So don't expect me to post daily, (won't happen) but I will try to surprise you with frequent postings.

About Me

My life as a quilt designer and optimistic pollyanna, revolves around my husband, home, family, friends, faith and of course quilts. Though the order may change from time to time as it does in everyone's life, the importance of them all, does not.
